| | John Asser |
 | | Later, Asser received a grant of Exeter, and was made Bishop of Sherborne, before 900. |
 | | The authentic work of Asser is found only in the edition of Francis Wise (1722), printed from a tenth-century Cottonian MS. |
 | | The burning of the cakes, references to St. Neot, and to Alfred's founding the University of Oxford are not in Asser's work, nor does Florence of Worcester allude to them, although he drew freely on that work, without, however, and mention of Asser's name. |
